Foodborne Illnesses Caused by Bacteria • Bacillus cereus gastroenteritis • Listeriosis • Hemorrhagic colitis • Clostridium perfringens gastroenteritis • Botulism • Salmonellosis • Shigellosis • Staphylococcal gastroenteritis • Vibrio vulnificus primary septicemia/gastroenteritis
Bacillus cereus gastroenteritis • Illness: Bacillus cereus gastroenteritis (ba-SIL-us SEER-ee-us GAS-tro-EN-ter-l-tiss) • Pathogen: Bacillus cereus • Transfer Methods: spore forming bacteria found in the ground, produces toxins when allowed to grow • Most Important Prevention: Controlling time and temperature
Bacillus cereus gastroenteritis • Common foods: • Diarrhea illness: cooked veggie, meat products, milk • Vomiting illness: cooked rice dishes • Symptoms: • Diarrhea illness: watery diarrhea, no vomiting • Vomiting illness: Nausea, vomiting
Listeriosis • Illness: Listeriosis (liss-TEER-ee-O-sis) • Pathogen: Listeria monocytogenes • Transfer Methods: found in soil, water and plants; grows in cool, moist environments • Most Important Prevention: Controlling time and temperature
Listeriosis • Common foods: raw meat, unpaturized dairy products, ready-to-eat food (deli meat, hot dogs, soft cheeses) • Symptoms: • Pregnant women: miscarriage • Newborns: sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis
Hemorrhagic colitis • Illness: Hemorrhagic colitis (hem-or-RA-jik ko-LI-tiss) • Pathogen: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli • Transfer Methods: found in the intestines of cattle; meat can become contaminated during the slaughter process • Most Important Prevention: Controlling time and temperature
Hemorrhagic colitis • Common foods: ground beef; contaminated produce • Symptoms: • Diarrhea (eventually becomes bloody) • Abdominal cramps • Kidney failure (in severe cases)
Clostridium perfringens gastroenteritis • Illness: Clostridium perfringens gastroenteritis • Pathogen: Clostridium perfringens • Transfer Methods: found in soil where it forms spores; also found in intestines of animals and humans • Most Important Prevention: Controlling time and temperature
Clostridium perfringens gastroenteritis • Common foods: meat, poultry, stews and gravies • Symptoms: • Diarrhea • Severe abdominal pain
Botulism • Illness: Botulism • Pathogen: Clostridium botulinum • Transfer Methods: found in soil and water; grows without oxygen; produces a deadly toxin when time-temperature is abused • Most Important Prevention: Controlling time and temperature
Botulism • Common foods: incorrectly canned foods, reduced oxygen packaged food, temperature abused vegetables (baked potatoes), untreated garlic-oil mixtures • Symptoms: • Initial: nausea and vomiting • Later: weakness, double vision, difficulty in speaking and swallowing
Salmonellosis • Illness: Salmonellosis • Pathogen: Salmonellosis spp. • Transfer Methods: naturally carried in farms animals • Most Important Prevention: Preventing cross-contamination
Salmonellosis • Common foods: Poultry and eggs, dairy products, produce • Symptoms: • Diarrhea • Abdominal cramps • Vomiting • Fever
Shigellosis • Illness: Shigellosis • Pathogen: Shigellaspp. • Transfer Methods: found in human feces; contaminated food and water; files • Most Important Prevention: Practicing personal hygiene
Shigellosis • Common foods: Food easily contaminated by hands (ex: potato salad); food that comes in contact with contaminated water (ex: produce) • Symptoms: • Bloody diarrhea • Abdominal pain and cramps • Fever (occasionally)
Staphylococcal gastroenteritis • Illness: Staphylococcal gastroenteritis • Pathogen: Staphylococcus aureus • Transfer Methods: carried in human hair, nose, throat, and infected cuts; produces toxins • Most Important Prevention: Practicing personal hygiene
Staphylococcal gastroenteritis • Common foods: salads containing TCS foods (egg, tuna, chicken), deli meat • Symptoms: • Nausea • Vomiting and retching • Abdominal cramps
Vibrio gastroenteritis • Illness: Vibrio gastroenteritis ; Vibrio vulnificus primary septicemia • Pathogen: Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus • Transfer Methods: found in waters where shell fish are harvested • Most Important Prevention: Purchasing from approved, reputable suppliers
Vibrio gastroenteritis • Common foods: oysters from contaminated water • Symptoms: • Diarrhea • Vomiting • Abdominal cramps and Nausea • Low grade fever and chills
1. Who am I? • Many farm animals carry me naturally • I have been found in eggs, produce, and poultry • I can produce vomiting and diarrhea • Preventing cross-contamination is one way to prevent me.
2. Who am I? • I can produce toxins if I grow in large numbers • I have been linked with salads containing TCS foods • I can produce retching and abdominal cramps • Washing hands can prevent me
3. Who am I? • I am found in soil • I have been linked with cooked rice dishes • I can produce watery diarrhea • Cooking, holding and cooling food correctly can prevent me
4. Who am I? • I form spores • I have been linked with meat and poultry • I do not typically produce fever or vomiting • Holding, cooling and reheating food correctly can prevent me
Characteristics of Parasites • Growth: cannot grow in food, must be in the meat of an animal to survive • Transfer: eating food contaminated; also found in feces • Contamination: contaminate both food and water
Anisakiasis • Illness: Anisakiasis • Pathogen: Anisakis simplex • Transfer Methods: raw or undercooked fish containing the parasite • Most Important Prevention: Purchasing from approved, reputable suppliers
Anisakiasis • Common foods: Raw or undercooked fish including: herring, cod, halibut, mackerel, pacific salmon • Symptoms: • Tingling in the throat • Coughing up worms
